WILL HAVE THE NATION TALKING. TRI-STATE KIDS .... INSPIRING US. THE STORY BEHIND THIS TOUCHDOWN - IS ONE OF "DEDICATION AND CARING". WLWT NEWS 5'S ALISON MONTOYA HAS THE MOMENT THESE GOSHEN CHILDREN WON'T SOON FORGET. FOR HIS FIRST YEAR OF FOOTBALL... TO SAY IT'S BEEN EXCITING WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT FOR PEYTON WEST. (Peyton West, Goshen Warriors) (It's really awesome and it's really fun.) HE'S A TEAMMATE OF THE GOSHEN WARRIORS ... A FITTING NAME FOR THIS 9 YEAR OLD. BORN WITH HALF A HEART HIS MOTHER MELISSA SAYS BY 5 HE HAD UNDERGONE 3 HEART SURGERIES AND HAD COMPLICATIONS. (Melissa West, Peyton's Mother) (He sustained brain damage as a result and he had to relearn everything from sitting up to eating, breathing, talking, everything he had to relearn. So now he wears leg braces and he's on blood thinner and things like that for his heart.) HIS FATHER COREY HELPS COACH PEYTON AND THE WARRIORS... (Corey West, Peyton's Father) (Don't ever let anything hold you back and Peyton's a good example of that, he'll go out there and give it his all 110 percent. He works just has hard as these guys here.) AND SAYS HE'S PROUD OF HIS SON... ESPECIALLY AFTER THIS BIG PLAY DURING THEIR FIRST GAME AGAINST THE BETHEL TATE TIGERS... (Corey West, Peyton's Father) (It's just something you can't stop from watching. It's so inspirational just the sportsmanship that bethel showed that day and the kids on both teams supported Peyton and they gave him high fives when he was finished, it's pretty special.) (Melissa West, Peyton's Mother) (It was really cool to see it and to see that it touches other people is just awesome because sometimes we need that break from reality of our busy lives to realize it's not so easy for everybody else.) FOR PEYTON... FOOTBALL IS THERAPY... AND AS HE IMPROVES WITH EACH SNAP... HE GAINS MORE CONFIDENCE... AND CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO THE ENDZONE AGAIN. (Alison Montoya, WLWT) (Peyton says although he likes the Bengals, Tim Tebow is one of his favorites and he will celebrate his next touchdown, with him in mind. Mike and Sheree.) PEYTON'S TOUCHDOWN.... WAS THE ONLY ONE SCORED BY GOSHEN... IN THE GAME.
